New York Islanders 3*, Columbus Blue Jackets 2 (*SO): Isles squeak past Korpisalo Show

Frans Nielsen and Cal Clutterbuck display the yin and yang of good shootout technique.

Including overtime and the unofficial shots of the shootout, the New York Islanders peppered rookie Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Joonas Korpisalo with 50 shots on net yet only barely escaped with both points -- er, two of the three points asexually made available by virtue of an NHL game exceeding 60 minutes -- on a night where they dominated the second half.

Their 3-2 shootout road win was earned the hard way after trailing 2-1 as the third period began, though that's small comfort against the Metro's basement dweller.
